|
Is it safe to disable ssl and various other secure encryption use flags (crypt, gnutls, ssl etc) or will it open any security holes in my system?
I almost never use SSL nor gnupg and frankly have no idea how it all works ![Very Happy :D](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) |

NO. Don't try it.

Oh ... you are using it ... all the time ... watch what portage does when you emerge a package (after fetching it and before unpacking it) ![Laughing :lol:](images/smiles/icon_lol.gif) _________________ https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Pietinger |
